After night OF no greater misery than
that Of the night that had zone BEFORE the un-
fortunate Italian immigrants who had been
compelled to remain on board the steamship
Scotia that was stranded on Friday morning
opposite Blue Point life saving station, beyond
Fire Island lighthouse. were routed out at day
break yesterday morning by the order Of Pas-
senger Agent Jacob Terknile. He had passed
tho night In the life saving station. The
work Of removing the passengers from the
ship then began. The revenue cutter Grant
had como to the scene during the night, and
IL was decided that 800 Of the passengers
should be taken to her and transferred to
Castle Garden direct. Tho rest were landed
and sent along tho inner beach for couple Of
milcs to place where they could be trans
ferred In small boats to South bay sloops. The
slOops took them to Fire Island inlet whore tho
wrecking schooner Haggerty took them and
sailed of with them for New York.
The effect Of these divisions and transfers
was pitiful. Families were divided. Fathers
were In one place. wives in another, children
In IL third, and in some cases children were
sent away In one boat while the parents had TO
go In another. neither knowing whether In a
new land among people who could not UNDER
stand them thoy would ever meet again. Bag
gage was u minor matter. but not few persons
were carried gesticulatina away, haying, left
